Find patterns of success in student outcomes that indicate stronger than normal performance in an areas aligned with your challenge and aim statement.

Action Steps
-Summarize evidence of progress
-Discuss and examine evidence
-Collect more data if needed
-Document and prepare to share with colleagues

Notes
Always remember to bring it back to challenge and aim statement. Think if the instructional strategy or practice can be applied across all content areas and grade levels.

Tips
-Use Google Slide Deck to show/share information when presenting.
-See if there is additional research that backs this practice like What Works Clearinghouse or Visible Learning.

Interpreting the data to determine if there is sufficient evidence that the tested practice is exceptional.

Action Steps
Step 1-review the evidence threshold previously set by the team
Step 2-discuss the extent to which the evidence is sufficient to confirm
Step 3-use the decision tree to decide next steps

Notes
For each promising practice ask guiding questions on pg. 133. Don't give up if practice is not confirmed, look for more evidence.

Tips
-Make sure you use the confirm phase decision tree to determine direction of PLC.
-Don't get frustrated and celebrate small wins!

Identify areas/needs for improvement school-wide in order to improve as a school. Establish a baseline for teacher practices and student outcomes.

Action Steps:
Decide on aim statement per department.

Process overview:
-What measurable student goal(s) will be set to demonstrate achievement, or progress toward the identified challenge?
-What types of evidence will be used to determine student success, or improvement, relative to this challenge?

Notes:
We are all in the SEEK phase, after pre-launch. 

Tips:
-Collaborate with departments and vertically/horizontally to ensure equitable practice
-Communicate consistently with instructional leaders]]> 2019-03-12 17:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340558211 Twin Branch PLC Summary https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340560940 Each academic focus group will continue to assess the data and look at specific student strengths and weaknesses in each skill as identified in I-Ready. Our behavior focus group will input most recent data and document consequences that were assigned to data wall.

Action Steps
1. Use I-Ready scores for Math and Language Arts. Look at the sub-category for each to identify strengths and weaknesses.
2. Look for resources
3. Look for interventions
4. Look for resources and interventions for our behavior group.

We are currently reviewing where successes were had last year, and looking to implement those successful changes in other classrooms. Action Steps step 1- review changes that were made last year step 2 - look at implementing any successful differences into other classes this year. step 3- review next year if changes were successful in more classes step 4- edit curriculum maps Notes this is a multi year process that is driving changes to our curriculum map, and goals. Our group is really focused on making sure changes are edited into curriculum maps or the reflections are made Tips https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340561001 2019-03-12 18:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340561001 Visual Art billa1 https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340561366

The définition of it and accumulating student outcomes, current teaching practices and existing conditions for colaboration. Student baseline assessments and test results and teacher surveys and observations. We need types of évidence that will clearly démonstrate progress such as assessments, student portfolios and squares. We need to look at how we grade and label what we grade.

We all have such different classes but share similar students so we sometimes compare our similar students. Action Steps: Step 1: review what our last aim statement was and work on coming up with a new one to work on for next school year. Step 2: Discuss the different options that we can focus on as a group. Step 3: Come up with an aim statement that we can all agree upon and implement for next year. https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340562715 2019-03-12 18:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340562715 ____Alg 2 daily __ Summary We've redesigned the course to better suit the students. So we are aligning curriculum to the text to have a better flow and structure while still hitting the standards Action Steps First step was splitting the regular course with the daily . This allowed us to take an honest look at the needs of the daily course. Notes We are in the process of finishing this as I type and writing the new map for next year.

With the changes needed in our curriculum maps, we are currently aligning the curriculum vertically and horizontally among all courses within the department. Action Steps * Meeting as an entire department to discuss needs among courses * Discussing future goals within each grouping (9/10 vs 11/12) * Create curriculum maps per provided format Your avatar https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340564268 2019-03-12 18:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340564268 Liberty Summary We are considering splitting into PLC areas - writing, math, and LIM . We will use the STEP process to begin writing and math, while continuing in the Seek phase with LIM. Our action steps for LIM are as follows: 1. Begin staff training proactive behavior - circle in control and proactive/reactive language, followed by training in subsequent habits. 2. Create a positive environment and culture of leaders with language, decor, student leadership opportunities, and understanding of the 7 habits. 3. Review staff LIM survey with committee. 4. Gather updated on SEL with classroom observations by all staff members. https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340567002 2019-03-12 18:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340567002 JYMS Math Department https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340567123 2019-03-12 18:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340567123 Hums mitchellr5 https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340581833 Summary
We created a new PLC focused on our ILT goal of improving math proficiency. We unpacked standards so that we can look at data relating to those standards.


Action Steps
Gather data as it relates to computation in each grade level.


Notes
Based on teachers' observations, fact fluency is a school wide need. We will look at data to confirm a need and create a challenge and aim statement.]]> 2019-03-12 18:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/stockstellc/5j1ehmputtxv/wish/340581833 Battell PLC Woo hoo we have made it to the discover phase.
